The Car boot sale APE RPI Vallée de la Mouche in Humes-Jorquenay

The Car boot sale of the APE of the RPI Vallée de la Mouche in Humes-Jorquenay (52200) is a solidarity event organized by the Parents' Association of the Intercommunal Pedagogical Grouping (RPI) which brings together the small schools of the Vallée de la Mouche. This type of event is typical of rural areas where parents' associations play a crucial role in financing school trips, educational materials, and extracurricular activities that municipal budgets cannot always cover.

Humes-Jorquenay is a commune in the canton of Langres, formed by the merger of two villages: Humes and Jorquenay. Located in the valley of the Mouche, a small tributary of the Marne that flows down from the Langres plateau, the commune offers a green and peaceful setting on the outskirts of the upper town of Langres. The Mouche is a trout river that attracts sport fishermen and nature lovers to its enchanting meanders.

The Mouche valley is a geographical and human entity that brings together several rural communes in the Langres agglomeration. The RPI (Intercommunal Pedagogical Grouping) is the school structure that allows these villages, too small to have their own school, to organize quality education together. Each village hosts one or two grades, and the children move according to their class.

The car boot sale organized by the parents of students of this RPI is an opportunity to mobilize the entire school community and the inhabitants of the member villages. Exhibitors offer second-hand items, toys, clothes, and books, in a friendly and warm atmosphere typical of rural school events.
